 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
FIG. 1 illustrates a pair of cargo restraint devices 10 in accordance with an illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure and a strap 12 restraining cargo in an intermodal shipping container having internal walls with corrugations 14. Consistent with the industry, the corrugations 14 of the intermodal shipping container are spaced at intervals of 5⅜ inches and have widths of about 4 inches. With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the cargo restraint device 10 are disposed on opposite sides of the internal walls, and each cargo restraint device 10 is secured to a pair of adjacent corrugations 14. The strap 12 interconnects the cargo restraint devices 10 to restrain cargo within the intermodal shipping container.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1-5, the cargo restraint device 10 has an I-shaped configuration and includes a pair of generally rectangular wings 20, a generally rectangular central member 22 interconnecting the wings, and a handle 24. The wings 20 are spaced to accommodate the spacing of corrugations 14 associated with industry intermodal shipping containers and thus are spaced at intervals of about 5⅜ inches. Each of the wings 20 has a width of about 3 inches to engage the corrugations 14 along the entire width of the wings. Thus, the distance between outer sides of the wings 20 are about 11⅜ inches and the distance between the inner sides of the wings are about 5⅜ inches. Each handle 24 defines an aperture 26 for receiving the strap 12.
The illustrated cargo restraint device 10 includes a top surface 30 and a bottom surface 32. The top surface 30 also includes a plurality of strengthening ribs 34 on the top surface 30 to distribute the force of the shifting freight during transport of the intermodal shipping container and to otherwise add to the strength and rigidity of the cargo restraint device 10. The ribs 34 may include portions that extend arcuately on the wings 20 and some of the ribs 34 include portions that extend parallel to the central member 22. In the illustrated embodiment, three of the strengthening ribs 34 extend linearly from the handle 24 on one of the wings 20, across the width of the wing 20, along and parallel to the central member 22, to the other wing 20 and bifurcate to form two arcuate strengthening ribs 34 on the other wing 20. The wing 20 adjacent the handle includes two other arcuate strengthening ribs 34. Additionally, the cargo restraint device 10 includes a strengthening lip 36 extending around its perimeter to provide additional strength and rigidity.
The illustrated cargo restraint device includes an adhesive 46 disposed on the bottom surface 32 of each of the wings 20 for securing the bottom surfaces 32 to the corrugations 14. The adhesive 46 may be in any suitable form. The adhesive 46 may, for example, be in the form of an acrylic based or rubber based adhesive. A removable release liner 48 may also be included. After removal of the release liner 48, the cargo restraint device 10 can be pressed against one of the internal walls of the intermodal shipping container to secure it to the internal wall. The adhesive 46 may be instead disposed directly on the corrugations 14, may be in the form of a two-sided tape with or without removable release liners, or may be in any other suitable form.
The cargo restraint device 10 may have a thickness of about 0.153 inches or any other suitable thickness. Except for the adhesive 46, the cargo restraint device may be constructed of any suitable plastic or other material.
The cargo restraint device 10 in accordance with the illustrated embodiment of the present disclosure provides many benefits. It is an improvement over prior art devices because the cargo restraint device is sized and designed specifically for use in industry intermodal shipping containers.
